MY Golden Globes Best & Worst Dressed

One of my favorite parts of award season.. Well, my ONLY favorite part of award season, is the fashion on the fashion on the red carpet! I decided to do my OWN little Best & Worst dressed list :)
BEST
Heather Morris: Freaking hilarious. LOVE her. LOVE this dress. It's in my top 5 of the night. I of course love how it has sleeves, but I am now obsessed with owning a nude dress for our cruise in March ('cause, you know...we're going on a cruise. Be jealous).


WORST
Catherina Zeta-Jones. I know you're dating an old guy, but you don't need to dress like it! Looking at this reminds me of Scarlett's dress in Gone With the Wind..


WORST
Tina Fey. Seriously...I believe that dress belongs to my wardrobe circa 1997. And it was gross even then.


WORST
Scarlett Johannson. I know I said I was into the whole nude dress thing, but this is all wrong! What's weird is that she has the PERFECT figure, but somehow managed to find a dress that makes her look frumpy. Also, her hair makes me want to take a shower.


WORST
Tilda Swinton. Do I really need to say anything about this? This looks like a really poorly dressed bridesmaid at an LDS wedding. On a side note: I really really like her shoes.


BEST
Mila Kunis. I love everything about this dress! The color, the cut, and I love that it was paired with almost no jewelry. I'm also obsessed with Mila, so maybe I'm biased.


WORST
Jennifer Lopez. Just one sentence: Don't wear a poncho to a red carpet.


WORST
Julia Stiles. I have grown to love her over this last season of Dexter, but this dress is seriously frightening. What is she, 30? I think she's way past Prom age..


BEST
Jane Fonda. She is so flawless and graceful, and is dressed as such. She's dressed her age, used black (stunning), and the cut is wonderful for her. Pretty sure I want this dress too.


WORST
Natalie Portman. Now, I know it's hard to dress when you're pregnant, but with her explosion these past few months, you'd think she would get better than this! That flower makes me nauseous.


WORST
Michelle Williams. This isn't the MTV Movie Awards. Or the '70's. So PLEASE get out of that hideous dress!


BEST
Claire Danes. This is the PERFECT color for her rosy colored skin. It is so simple as well! I am absolutely in love with this simplicity.


WORST
Jennifer Love Hewitt. She's been unlucky in love, so maybe that's she chose a bad wedding dress. Anyone else feel like her top is going to eat her alive?


BEST
Angelina Jolie. I love everything about this look. I love how it's gathered like a tunic, how it's green, the long sleeves, and, of course, the SPARKLES! I am a girl, after all.


WORST
January Jones. I saw this dress got some awards, and I have NO IDEA why. It's one of the most unflattering of the night. It's way too awkward to make any sense of. And tassels? Maybe she thought it was the CMA's.


WORST
Helena Bonham Carter. I really only put her on here because she had two different colored shoes. She's horrible every award show, so it's not a surprise she showed up in this get up.


WORST
Emma Stone. Although I love her understated make up/hair, it doesn't excuse her nasty orange, ill-fitting get up. Ew.


WORST
Amy Adams. This is hard for me, because I am in LOVE with her! But what's up with the oddly gathered fabric? It looks like fabric threw up on her bodice.


WORST
Sandra Bullock. Which is worse? Her bangs or her dress? Once again, I love the nude dress, just not this one. She has a nice body, maybe she shouldn't wear a dress like a paper bag..


WORST
Halle Berry. Does this dress remind anyone of Madonna? I love the shoes, and I love how she looks killer with short hair, but I cannot get past this dress. Also, we KNOW you have a nice body. Cover it up once in a while.


BEST
Anne Hathaway. My ALL TIME FAVE OF THE NIGHT. LOVE this dress! Love the color (nude), love the sparkles (of course), and I love how it hugs her body. If my body looked like hers, that would be the best day of my life!

Liar, Liar

No, I'm not talking about politicians, silly. This post is all about Ethan. He has already told his first lie. In fact, he tells it several times a day. He's discovered that "Poop" gets him out of bed, out of time out, etc. What he HASN'T yet figured out, is that it's pretty easy for me to figure out he's telling an untruth. What will he come up with next??

Ethan's Balls

Last weekend, we purchased Ethan's favorite new toys in the whole world!! Sports Authority has this little package with miniature soccer balls, basketballs, and footballs in it. Ethan will NOT be parted from his favorite new toys. The proof is in the photo below..

He even wants to go to BED with them! He is boy, through and through.

Christmas Morning

I've learned the days of waking up whenever I want on Christmas morning are over... see this picture below if you don't believe me.

Sunrise behind our little Christmas tree = gorgeous!

Ethan excited to open up his toy car!

He was NOT having picture time when he could spend time playing with cars, but he made a valiant effort.

The spread... Mmmm.. I miss that food.

Chicken cordon bleu. Absolutely amazing! My first crack at it, and I learned it's not so hard to make.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Grandma Boaz this year, and Ethan had a blast! What is better than great food and presents? I know... nothing.

When we go to grandma's, Ethan eat exclusively on Grandma's lap.
...Which is totally fine with me, because that means I actually get to EAT my meal.

Ethan opening up a tin of cars. By far is favorite toy of the night.

Haha... I love this picture. He was just delirious with joy over his cars :)

Simple and Festive

Christmas is my FAVORITE holiday, and I love decorating for it. Unfortunately, I don't have much space, so we just kept it simple this year.



Ethan's cute little presents. Christmas with a baby makes the season so much better.

Christmas Chocolates from Grandma Boaz

One of my favorite parts of Christmas as a child was the copious amount of candy and chocolate I was able to ingest. I decided to make that a tradition with my little man, and he LOVED it.

Ethan discovering chocolate Grandma Boaz sent over with us.

Can you see the chocolate? This is when it was only IN his mouth. Trust me, it ended up every where else quickly..

This picture was just the beginning. He ended up eating most of the chocolate. Bad idea, actually. Turns out too much chocolate can give little babies stomach aches, and Ethan was up all night. Oops. I'll think twice about that next time..

Trip to Arizona

Billy finished law school!! He still has lots of pressure on him (can anyone say "the bar?), but what a RELIEF to be done with Willamette. Weird in a way, because law school has been our entire marriage. Something tells me our years AFTER law school will bring lots of happiness and **gasp** maybe we'll actually get to spend TIME together!

My brother, Derek, was kind enough to give us his ticket vouchers so we could make a last-minute trip to Arizona in DECEMBER. It was so so amazing. We were so wiped out from finals, I seriously took only TWO pictures. Yikes.

We of course had to visit one of Billy's closest friends, Kirt, and his new wife Megan. AND we had to make a stop at one of our favorite restaurants, Cafe Rio. For all of you who are still lucky enough to frequent this restaurant, don't take it for granted!

My sweet husband and I. He really is my favorite person in the world. Thanks for going to school and making the moneys so I can sit at home and eat bon bons all day.

My Son the Charmer

Ethan had a blast at Zumiez.. He has good taste. What can I say?


Look at those people so captivated by him? He seriously lights up the room. He's the best :)
